Yin Yoga – Yin Yoga is a relaxed and mindful practice of sustained postures focused on stimulating the "chi" in the connective tissues of the hips, thighs, pelvis and lower spine. This deep practice is gentle, yet intense, helping students to open the body while cultivating their ability to tune in and listen before surrendering to (rather than trying to control) their feelings. Poses are held between ten breaths and ten minutes. This is done to liberate the body's chronic holding patterns helping students to recapture some of the ease and freedom of movement they had as a child. A Yin yoga class is the perfect antidote to stress and a great counter balance to more active styles of yoga, martial arts, cycling and running. Regular class pricing.

Yoga 1 – Don't know much about yoga? Looking to refine your existing practice? This class is for you. You will be guided through the classic Yoga postures with emphasis on aligning your body to help open places that feel tight, and breathing practices to increase your energy and stamina.
